    227~Lost No More: Finding Freedom, Faith & Hope After Addiction with Ashley Martin

    What happens when the thing you once turned to for comfort becomes the very thing keeping you from freedom? In this powerful conversation, Ashley Martin shares her journey from nearly two decades of alcohol addiction to more than 12 years of sobriety, a renewed relationship with God, and a life she now describes as thriving—not simply surviving. Ashley opens up about the moment she finally surrendered, entering treatment, facing the shame and secrets of her past, and discovering that God could use even the most broken parts of her story for good. We also talk about the three pillars Ashley continues to practice every day—surrender, prayer, and service—and how they help her protect her sobriety, her peace, and her relationship with God. In this episode, we discuss: Recognizing when alcohol or another coping mechanism has taken control Why addiction doesn't have a certain "look" Breaking free from shame and refusing to hide your past The role surrender played in Ashley's recovery Raising children honestly when addiction is part of your family story Choosing faith over fear when addiction runs in the family Ashley's three daily pillars: surrender, prayer, and service The difference between simply surviving and truly thriving How God can redeem and use the parts of your story you once wanted to hide Ashley reminds us that there is always hope. No matter where you've been or what choices are behind you, God has not left you—and your story is not beyond His redemption.

    225~Five Years Behind the Mic | What 225 Episodes Have Taught Me

    Five years ago, one simple sentence changed my life: "I like listening to you. You should start a podcast." I had no idea that one small "yes" would become 225 episodes, and countless conversations pointing moms back to Jesus. In this special anniversary episode, I'm taking you behind the microphone to share the journey, from the early Unmasking series and HELP! episodes to the heartbreaking seasons of losing both of my parents, navigating unexpected challenges, and watching God's faithfulness every step of the way.

    224~Serving From Love, Not For Love with Courtney

    Have you ever reached the end of the day with everything checked off your list... and still felt empty? In this solo episode of The Mom Show, Courtney reflects on one powerful takeaway from last week's conversation with Katie Reid: Are we serving from love... or serving for love? It's a small difference in wording, but it can completely change the way we experience motherhood. Together, we'll explore how easy it is to tie our identity to being needed, why the lack of a simple "thank you" can affect us so deeply, and how resting in our identity as daughters of God allows us to serve from a place of fullness instead of striving. In This Episode You'll Learn: Why serving for love always leaves us exhausted. The difference between serving as a daughter of God versus performing for approval. A simple way to recognize when your identity has become tied to what you do. Five practical ways to begin serving from a full heart instead of an empty one. Why God's love was never something you had to earn. This Week's Challenge Choose just one of these practices this week: Do one hidden act of kindness that no one knows about. Notice moments of resentment and ask what you're hoping to receive in return. Spend intentional time allowing God to fill your heart before you pour into everyone else. Speak this truth over yourself daily: "I am loved, not because of what I do today, but because I belong to Christ." Before saying yes to something new, ask: "Am I serving from a full cup... or trying to fill one?" Scripture to Reflect On "We love because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19 Mentioned in This Episode Katie Reid's episode on The Mom Show (listen to the previous episode for the conversation that inspired today's message).

You don't have to earn the love you're already standing in. You get to serve from it—not for it.

    223~ Made Like Martha: Trading Striving for Grace with Katie Reid

    Have you ever felt like you have to earn God's love? Maybe you're constantly trying to be the perfect mom, the perfect wife, the perfect friend, or the perfect Christian. You keep doing more, serving more, and striving harder—yet you still feel exhausted. In this encouraging conversation, Courtney sits down with author and speaker Katie Reid to talk about the life-changing moment she calls her "dusty living room revelation"—the day God showed her that grace isn't something we earn, but a gift we simply receive. Together they explore what it means to move from striving to settledness, from perfectionism to peace, and from living like hired help to embracing your identity as a beloved daughter of God. If you've ever wrestled with comparison, burnout, people-pleasing, or the pressure to have it all together, this conversation is one your heart needs to hear. In This Episode Katie shares the story behind her unforgettable "dusty living room revelation." How legalism quietly sneaks into motherhood and our relationship with God. Why so many Christian women struggle to receive God's love. A fresh perspective on Martha that may completely change how you read her story. Learning to serve from love instead of serving for love. Why saying "no" can actually be one of the most spiritual things you do. Practical encouragement for overwhelmed moms carrying too much. Trusting God with your children's spiritual journeys. How embracing your identity as God's daughter changes the atmosphere of your home. A Favorite Quote "Jesus is not company to impress. He's family to enjoy." Scriptures Mentioned Luke 10:38–42 John 11 Exodus 2 Proverbs 3:5–8 Zephaniah 3:17 Resources Mentioned Made Like Martha by Katie Reid Katie's message is a beautiful reminder that God never asked us to earn His approval. As moms, we can stop striving and begin resting in the love that's already ours through Christ.

    221~ When Mothering Is Hard and No One Sees with Shalene Roberts

    Motherhood is often filled with moments that no one applauds. The dishes get washed. The tears get wiped away. The prayers are whispered long after everyone else is asleep. And somewhere along the way, many moms begin to wonder, Does any of this really matter? In this heartfelt conversation, Courtney sits down with author Shalene Roberts to talk about the unseen work of motherhood and the God who sees every sacrifice, every prayer, and every ordinary moment. Drawing from her new book, When Mothering Is Hard and No One Sees, Shalene shares the story behind the viral blog post that encouraged hundreds of thousands of moms, the season that nearly broke her, and how God gently reminded her that motherhood has eternal significance. Together, they discuss how to find Christ in the chaos, release comparison, embrace rest, and trust God's plans for our children—even when we can't yet see the outcome. In This Episode You'll Hear: Why so many moms struggle to feel seen and valued The powerful story of Hagar and the God who sees How motherhood shapes eternity more than we realize Practical ways to practice abiding, prayer, and true soul rest How to overcome comparison with gratitude Encouragement for moms walking through uncertainty with their children Why surrendering your plans often leads to God's very best Scripture Mentioned Ecclesiastes 3:11 "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart..."

Whether you're waiting for healing, restoration, a prodigal child, or simply praying for peace, this episode is a reminder that God's silence doesn't mean He's stopped working. Together we'll talk about fear, change, forgiveness, surrender, and how to keep trusting God even when you can't yet see the miracle. In This Episode: Why waiting can make us lose hope How fear steals today's peace The freedom that comes through forgiveness Learning to trust God's timing instead of controlling the outcome Why you shouldn't quit before God is finished Connect with Courtney 🌐 CourtneyDoyleMinistries.com 📱 Instagram: @CourtneyDoyleMinistries 📘 Facebook: Courtney Doyle Ministries 💌 Join Courtney's email community for weekly encouragement and podcast updates.
